OTTO MAN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 272,825, dated February20, 1883.

Application tiled July 1, 1882. (No model.) i

To all whom t't may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM S. WRIGHT, of Dover, in the county of Morrisand State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Ottoman, ofwhich the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to improvements lin ottoni-ans; audit consists inracks with upwardly projecting teeth secured in grooves in the innersides of the standards, on which racks other racks catch, which aresecured to the supporting cross-piece ot' the seat, and havedownwardly-projecting teeth, whereby the seat can be held and adjustedat any desired height, as hereinafter fully described.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part ot'this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the gures.

Figurel is a front elevation of my improved ottoman, parts being shownin section. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional elevation of the same on theline Fig. l.

rlwo standards, A, of any desired or suitable design, are united by avertical partition, B,

and by a bottom cross-piece, O, below this partition. The standards Aare each provided in the inner sides with a wide vertical groove, G, onone side ot each of which a vertical rack, H, with upwardly-projectingteeth, is tixed. A seat, J, is attached to a cross-piece, K, projectinginto the grooves G, but ot less width than the same. At the ends of thiscross-piece racks L, having downwardly-projecting teeth, are attached tothat side of the cross piece facing toward the racks H. The seat J canthus be adjusted at any desired position by moving it upward diagonally,to withdraw the teeth of the Aracks L from those of the racks H, thenraising or lowering the seat, as may be desired, and then moving itdownward diagonally, so

that the teeth of the racks L will pass between the teeth ot' theracksH, and will thus hold the seat in the desired position. The standards Aare provided on the outer sides with handles M, for moving the stool orottoman about without changing the position of the seat, for, if theseat should be seized in raising the ottoman, the seat would be removedfrom its position.

I have shown plates or leaves D, pivoted to the longitudinal edges ofthecross-piece O, and having their outer ends connected by chainsE 'to thepartition B,"to form pockets or receptacles for sheet-music, paper,85e., the leaves being adapted to beheld closed by spring-catches F,projecting from the sides ot' the partition B. This, however, forms nopart of my invention, and may be omitted, ii' desired.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patentl. The combination, with the stool-standards' A,having vertical grooves G in the inner sides,

of the seat J, the cross-piece K, supporting the WILLIAM SAMUEL WRIGHT.
